how to build reports with datasource via "ant" ?

[rbalasus]

Hello, at this time I am not familar with the procedure to build reports via the ant tool from the commandline.

I was testing some simple samples, and reading the documentation.

 

Now my problem: As I now know, the jrxml file has no information about the external datasource (f.i. mysql connection)

In iReport , it has to be defined on the topline.

In jasperserver is an easy way to define the datasources, this is working correctly.

How I can build reports with the ant toolchain, when these reports grap external data?

I only know these steps

ant fill, ant view

I don't found examples where in the build.xml a datasource was defined.

Can somebody explain, how to make this. Or can somebody send a link for the appropriate topic in the documentation.
